That was the entire joke.

And if a white, trans comic did the trans equivalent of that bit, it'd probably get a few laughs, too. But if the two traded bits... probably not so much. Almost as if who is telling the joke and who is the subject can drastically alter the context.

I guess my point is he's always done jokes that are shit jokes, and people laugh at the audacity of it rather than because it's funny

This was my take on Tuesday. I don't know if it's valid at all, but I think it's the only option left to even attempt to justify his recent behavior.

i've started believing it's all some kind of Kaufmanesque meta-anti-humor. "hahahaha, look at all these fools laughing at this stupid shit. they just expect everything i say to be a joke and laugh like trained animals." the only actual joke is on the people laughing at what he's saying, but he's the only one in on it.

Im guessing you have to see the whole thibg for context but one joke like his by itself is not fiunny, what was the setup that led to the joke?

it's also because when you're in an audience at a comedy show surrounded by people laughing your brain is in "laugh mode" and you'll laugh more easily compared with when you click a video in your bedroom at your computer. the threshold to get laughs is far lower bc the audience is primed for it, AND the people who paid to see the show are specifically the kind of people who enjoy that comedian's style of jokes.

if you really get the crowd going, you can basically say anything with a funny voice and they'll probably laugh at it

If youre a fan? Nope. If you have no interest at all? Absolutely. Kind of a silly statement from you.

The rest of your post makes no sense.

Since when has America given a fuck how any of us feel inside?
And I cannot shake this awful suspicion that the only reason everybody is talking about transgenders [sic] is because White men want to do it. Thats right, I just said that.
If it was just women who felt that way, or Black dudes and Mexican dudes being like, Hey yall, we feel like girls inside, theyd be like, Shut up, n-word, nobody asked how you felt. Come on everybody, we have strawberries to pick!

It reeks of White privilege.
Now that's interesting, I hadn't heard of this one before

A dumb fuck take like that kind of paints what he said in his most recent special in an even worse light imo

Was he at least wearing a funny hat or making a funny voice? Maybe he was getting hit in the face with a pie, or, since this was apparently an expensive special, an entire wedding cake. Then it might be kind of funny. Otherwise it's not.

Yeah that definitely makes it worse, and what the fuck is with people pretending that trans people are exclusively white? Someone here was parroting that same shit, as if Black issues and trans issues have no overlap.

This part really baffles me, especially on here. People are obsessed with ignoring or blocking someone over the smallest things, but then when it comes to famous people they have to obsess over them.

Or it's called being an adult. We get it the same 5 things are being said. Even Netflix said piss off. It's over. At a certain point you gotta move on.

Upset over random anonymous people I will never meet in my life? Nah Im good. Upset over people talking about stuff they dont watch or pay attention to? Nah Im good.

Im just trying to help out people and help better their lives. Obsess over something you know youll hate and will make you mad, or find something you like and be happy.. hmmmm, tough decision.

Being an adult is throwing temper tantrums when people say uncomfortable things about an entertainer you like

no, it's cool. now any time any of them complain about literally any criticism, ever, we just get to say we're telling jokes and they have absolutely no way out of the hole they've dug.

Chappelle didnt change.

YOUR idea of comedy and what is acceptable forms of comedy has changed.

and Im not saying that to disparage anyone. But the fact is that Daves comedy has been consistent through the years. He has always believed in open season on everyone.
